Introduction
This bulletin has been prepared to guide the users of
fans in the proper installation, operation and mainte-
nance procedures to insure maximum equipment life
with trouble-free operation. Personnel operating or main-
taining this equipment shall be trained in the proper
procedures for doing so.
Since many fans of this type have custom features or
components, please refer to the attached documentation
and appendices for additional information. When manu-
facturers of components provide detailed installation and
operation manuals, they will be provided. Because of the
wide variety of equipment covered in this bulletin, the
instructions given here are general in nature.
For safe installation, startup and operational life of
this equipment, it is important that all involved with the
equipment be well versed in proper fan safety practices
and read this bulletin. Please review the safety section
before beginning any work. It is the user’s responsibil-
ity to make sure that all requirements of good safety
practices and any applicable safety codes are strictly
adhered to. Only properly trained personnel should oper-
ate and maintain this equipment.
Personal Protection
For safety reasons maintenance personnel should wear
personal protection equipment when attempting to main-
tain fans. People with long hair are advised to tuck hair
back possibly into a cap.
Personal protection equipment should include the
following:
• Safety glasses or goggles approved by local safety
authority
• Protective shoes with steel toecaps and oil resis-
tant soles
• Heavy gloves that can cope with sharp edges or
exposure to hazardous chemicals. This is especially
important when hazardous residues are present in
fans.
• Breathing apparatus if toxic gases or vapors are
expected to be present.
• Close fitting clothing
Do not wear:
• Rings
• Bracelets
• Necklaces
• Loose items of clothing
It is the responsibility of the maintenance personnel
to determine that the lighting is sufficient for the work
being performed. Additional portable lighting may be
required as there are no lighting fixtures supplied with
the fans.
Hazardous Materials
Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd. is not always made
aware of the materials that may be handled with a fan
and therefore can not warn the user of these hazards.
Because of this, the end user must identify the mate-
rial hazards present and indicate this on the fan with
a warning label. If there is risk of residual hazardous
material being left in a fan if the gas or vapor being
handled can accumulate as a deposit, all maintenance
and operation personnel must be trained to handle such
hazards before having access to the fan.
Lubricants used on fan components could be hazard-
ous if they contact someone’s eyes or are consumed.
For additional general safety practices for air moving
equipment, see AMCA Bulletin 410.
Installation
Shipping and Receiving
All Twin City Fan Companies, Ltd. products are carefully
constructed and inspected before shipment to insure the
highest standards of quality and performance. Compare
all components with the bill of lading or packing list to
verify that the proper unit was received. Check each unit
for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Any
damage should be reported immediately to the carrier and
the necessary damage report filed.
